Ever an energetic actor in the electronic music scene, Montreal-based artist Guillaume Coutu Dumont maintains numerous collaborative projects, performing regularly in his hometown and around the world. Guillaume’s initial musical forays were as a percussionist in a funk band, after which he studied latin and classical percussions in college before discovering electroacoustic composition, which he pursued further at university.

It was during this period that he joined [iks], a contemporary jazz formation with whom he recorded two albums and toured for several months in Senegal. Upon his return to Montreal, Guillaume decided to focus his efforts on composition. Influenced as much by concrete music as by techno, which he discovered one night in the midst of a lightning storm, Guillaume founded Egg (Mutek_rec, Karat), Luci (Mutek_rec, Morris Audio), Chic Miniature (Raummusik), Flabbergast (Mutek_rec), as well as the artistic collective Racam. He has toured with one or another of these projects in Latin America, Europe and Asia. Driven by his passion for music in all its forms, and a special fascination for hybrid forms of musical expression, Guillaume is currently working on his debut solo project: a fusion of electronic music, gospel, swing, barbershop quartet and afro-beat.
